Common questions from Salvington clients
Will you take on work at estates like Downlands Business Park, close to Salvington?
Yes. Our area takes in Salvington and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Downlands Business Park included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a hospital such as Worthing Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Do you guarantee expansion joint work?
The 12-month guarantee applies to the workmanship. Tell us straight away if a joint we sealed gives trouble in that time.
Expansion joint sealing in Salvington
Our movement joint work takes in walls, panels, decks and floors: brickwork and blockwork joints, precast and cladding panel joints, concrete joints, car park decks and ramps, podiums and floor movement joints. Every one calls for a sealant picked for its movement, exposure and traffic, and we’ll confirm the choice in the quote. Most enquiries involve hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades and water dripping through deck or ramp joints, across podiums and floor movement joints, brickwork movement joints and blockwork control joints. For commercial sealant work in Salvington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Small units near places like Salvington are often converted farm buildings with new concrete floors. Joints in those slabs need a product suited to whatever runs over them, from pallet trucks to foot traffic.
Work we carry out in West Sussex comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

What we’re called out for in Salvington
Three-sided adhesion is a common cause of early failure. Bonded on three faces, it can’t stretch evenly when the joint opens, which is why depth control matters.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Hardened, cracked sealant on exposed facades
- Joints packed with grit and debris
- Water dripping through deck or ramp joints
- Spalled or broken joint edges in floors and decks
Hospital campuses such as Worthing Hospital (2 miles south-east of Salvington) grow in stages, leaving movement joints wherever new blocks meet old.
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Damaged metal nosings or cover plates over a joint
- Movement on a scale no sealant is meant to absorb
- Crumbling edges that would give a new bead nothing sound to grip
If you’re not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Salvington

What happens if it’s left?
A torn seal left alone usually gets worse. Water and debris get in, the joint jams and the edges spall and the job grows to repairs as well as sealing. Acting at the first split keeps the cost down. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Our process
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a site in Salvington, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We start with photos, approximate lengths and any drawings, visiting where needed.
- We compare each joint’s width with the movement and the sealant’s capability and tell you if the design looks wrong for the movement.
- Old sealant and debris are cut out of every joint.
- Any broken arrises or friable edges are flagged before work goes further.
- A sealant suited to the movement and traffic is laid to depth and tooled.
- Each area is handed back after its cure time, under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let building users know which areas are affected

General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Slabs, ramps and loading bays in Salvington
The sea is no more than about 3 miles from Salvington. External movement joints in car parks, ramps and yards near the coast take salt and wind-driven rain on top of traffic, which is why split joints are worth sealing before the edges deteriorate. At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Salvington. Their warehouses, yards and car parks are exactly where joints take the most punishment.
Phasing is what makes joint work possible on busy sites such as Goring Business Park (1.6 miles south-west of Salvington): one bay, aisle or car park row at a time. For buildings at a park such as Downlands Business Park, 1.5 miles east of Salvington, brick and panel movement joints are easy to forget until one leaks.
